I search for this thread on the idea of going for breakfast this morning looking for a place I've never gone before....

Sad to say I've never been to Commodore or Silk Hat... so it shall be one of those I suppose.

^both are great...if it is just bacon and eggs, como: omm or the such, silk

Commodore it was. Huge plate of bacon (I can't eat eggs) homestyle potatoes and toast for $4.25... (same price for a bit less bacon and two eggs).

Sure it's ugly as sin inside, but it's a cheap greasy spoon with good food.

^reminds me of a little small alberta town place.

How about IKEA. Only a buck.

Sorry I almost forgot to post this, but I want to tell you people here this:

Tried to go to the Silk Hat this morning, only to find it closed - apparently without warning. This was at about 9:45 am, and a quick peek through the big window showed it completely dark and the display shelf completely empty. There was just the new hours saying it'd be open 7 am to 9 pm or something like that (can't remember exactly, though), but nothing like a notice of seizure or closure notice or whatever.

So...I went to the Commodore instead, and had some bacon and eggs and toast and a cup of coffee. The bacon and eggs themselves were good, as well as the toast, but the hash browns aren't what I'm used to. The coffee isn't much to write home about, but it was pretty drinkable. I'd probably go there again if I wanted a cheap brekkie, though I'll likely order something else just for the sake of trying something a little different.

yeah, I saw the Silk Hat closed on Sunday. Not sure if they are normally open on Sunday, but that's why we went to the Commodore instead.

Visited the 9th st Bistro Sunday morning with a couple of friends...very good omelette, good coffee and very good service. I would definitely go back there again.
